Sissoko’s Emotional Tweet Translated – Thanks Newcastle Fans

This long and emotional tweet from Moussa Sissoko’s Instagram account has doing the rounds on the Internet over the last day – but unless you know French it doesn’t mean much!

We have translated the message so Newcastle fans in particular can read what Moussa had to say after finishing the Euros with France being the better side, but losing 1-0 in extra time to Portugal in Paris last Sunday night..

There’s no doubt Moussa gave two fantastic displays for France in both the semi-final and final which has helped raised his transfer fee to something north of £35M – if he is to leave Newcastle this summer.

We have talented Wijnaldum and Janmaat and semi-talented Sissoko, who apparently all want to get away because they believe they’re too good for the Championship. We should sell them to make way for players who are committed to the NUFC cause.

Giimps,
Ignore club football then, Moussa has played more times for France than Pogba, Pogba has 6 times the number of goals and more assists. Moussa doesn’t have an end product to match Pogba. Pogba had a poor tournament, but has been a huge player for Juve over the last few years with consistent goals and assists. Moussa has been a huge let down at Newcastle. He got 1 goal last season, Gini was out of position and managed 11 in a season where he has been criticised for only playing in home matches.

It will be interesting to see how Moussa does if rumours are correct and he goes to Juve, I’d imagine he doesn’t weigh in with as many goals or assists as Pogba.

Btw, saying he isn’t anywhere near as good as Pogba is hardly a criticism. Pogba has been one of the form midfielders in Europe over the last 2 or 3 seasons. To not measure up there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Anyway, Pogba’s fee of 100million also contains a 25million payment to his agent, so the actual transfer fee minus agents fee is only 75million. Not entirely sure why the agent fee is being included in the transfer fee when this is discussed, they aren’t normally. I guess it is a way for Juve to appease fans by saying how high the fee was.

Lukes,
Mainly because he, as well as quite a few others have been hiding this season, he has gone on to show how he can play ,the effort, hard work, skill and drive has been missing for most of the season yet is shown to all the world in front of the TVs cameras and bright lights…….the come and get me sign and quotes made to Wenger and others stick in a lot of people’s craw.
If it was gini who was in th Euros doing this, the same feelings would apply to him, to a lesser extent since he was succesful in his 1st season…….though in too few games

Lilongwe ,
Time will tell with Moussa and Pogba, I just hope we get a decent fee for him, what do you think will happen re the so called agreement fee of £25m?
Even that fee at the end of the season would have seemed ludicrous after the season he had…….now though, I would be disappointed to only get that after seeing the prices some other players are being touted at.

In honor of two dedicated Newcastle fans, who lost their lives supporting Newcastle United.

Their passenger jet was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday July 17th, 2014 by rebels, as they were traveling to support the team in New Zealand.

We will never forget them.

Health Update - 4 Aug, 2016

The good news last week was that after more blood tests my PSA count is still undetectable

This means the prostate cancer is still under control, and there is no trace of it in the body.

Now to be even more vigilant so I can see the Rafa Benitez project come to its fruition over the next few years - wouldn't want to miss that.

Howay The Lads!!>

What Is A Football Club?

What is a club in any case?

Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it.

It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
